Description

The listing, OpenBook Pro - MSI Wind netbook with Mac OS X Leopard - NEW has ended.

Hello Listia Community!

Up for auction is a Brand New modified MSI Wind netbook from MacWind (as seen on Gizmodo). It's a top-of-the-line OpenBook Pro and retailed for $889 on MacWind's site. Here's a bit more info and the specs:

Specifications:
- Color: Black Mica
- 10.1" WSVGA Antiglare LED Display
- 1.6GHz Intel Atom LPC Processor
- 2GB DDR-2 Ram
- Upgraded 802.11n Wifi
- Mac OS X Leopard!
- US+ International Keyboard upgrade (great for US users and those in Canada alike)
- 6-cell Upgraded High-Capacity Battery
- Built-in webcam and microphone

This netbook runs Apple's next-gen Leopard OS with speed and ease. Great for students to graphic designers. Comes with box, charger, and everything.

Shipping:
- Free in the US
- $15 to Canada, unless >500credits
- No other worldwide shipping.

So, in a nutshell, it's a great netbook that's new and runs Mac OS X. I realize this is a big item, so feel free to direct any questions to the comments.

Happy Bidding!

Haha with like cash?

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 3:53:59 PM PST by

still got 4 days left... I'm surprised bidding is so high with so much time left

Oct 30th, 2009 at 7:52:48 PM PDT by

I don't think 4500 is that much at all and I really doubt the big bidding is done either... I know I'd WIN this if I could.
I wonder how many points my iPhone 3gs would earn me if I listed it for 1 day and overnight shipped it :) blah too risky haha

Oct 31st, 2009 at 3:20:29 PM PDT by

You should totally do it and use the credits to bid on this :D

Oct 31st, 2009 at 3:21:21 PM PDT by

freetradecodes, you can set a minimum number of credits if you click "advanced options" while you list it.

Nov 1st, 2009 at 10:01:18 AM PST by

True. Up to 100.

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 9:28:28 PM PST by

< 1.X days now... bid! :D

Nov 1st, 2009 at 9:01:10 PM PST by

The max, min, bet you can set is 100 I think but it isn't that which would be too risky to list my iPhone. It's that I don't have my wings yet so getting the points in time might not pan out. Maybe next time for me :)
Winner of this auction is going to be so lucky! I'd love to be able to win a computer for listing extra stuff from around the house

Nov 1st, 2009 at 9:29:59 PM PST by

Well man if you do decide to list that iPhone, I'll start the bidding off at 3000. Good luck on Listia :D

Nov 1st, 2009 at 10:03:18 PM PST by

Don't worry, Craig, I will bid. Just biding my time. I am a little worried about the OS X 10.6.2 update blocking Atom processors though... :-/

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 8:25:54 AM PST by

It does, but a modified kernel should fox that...

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 10:48:19 AM PST by

Few questions for you: 1. Card reader? 2. Could you include a Windows recovery disc/partition in case OS X gets jacked up by Apple? 3. HD size? Thanks!

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 8:47:07 AM PST by

Card Reader works perfectly. HDD is 160GB

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 9:34:40 AM PST by

Oh, jeeze, have you seen how many auctions catchpennycoins has had? I don't think I have a chance!

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 9:34:01 AM PST by

Well never hurts to bid... also, he might not want to go "all-in". BTW: I can try to get the 10.6.2 update before I ship it out (Snow Leopard). No promises, but I'll definitely try it.

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 10:30:43 AM PST by

^ Hmm... looks like I'll have to use a modified kernel. Bummer.

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 10:34:29 AM PST by

Ah, well, I'm sure the Hackintosh folks will release a fix sooner or later.

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 1:29:47 PM PST by

True. 10.5.8 is pretty stable build for the Wind and atom though. The fact that OS X even runs so well is pretty remarkable...

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 1:45:48 PM PST by

Surprised bidding is only at 4500 on a $889 notebook...

Oct 30th, 2009 at 5:17:50 PM PDT by

Technically, retail of this OpenBook nano v.s. retail of the Panasonic TV... this weighs in at $300 more.

The more you know...

So, like, bid. :D

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 6:47:12 PM PST by

Less than a day now...

Nov 2nd, 2009 at 9:28:52 PM PST by

I'm not sure about the math. Doesn't an MSI Wind run around $299 these days? The MacOS upgrade from MacWind (before they were shut down) was an extra $100. Extra gig of RAM is around $20. I think the TV is pretty close or above the value of this Netbook.

That said, I think it's very cool that you listed it and I may even bid myself...not sure if I want to save my credits or spend them right now. I already have a Netbook but it's not a model I can easily hack to run MacOS.

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 1:32:32 PM PST by

I was just basing retail off of MacWind's web site price on an OpenBook nano configured this way.

Thanks and hope you decide to bid =)!

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 2:27:43 PM PST by

Do they still have a website?

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 2:58:42 PM PST by

They do not, although limited support is still available by email.

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 3:01:11 PM PST by

Hour and a half left...

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 7:18:38 PM PST by

Under an hour now...

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 7:46:46 PM PST by

Is this in perfect working condition and new?

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 8:12:49 PM PST by

Yup!

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 9:12:36 PM PST by

Oh I see it is NEW just read the descpription. Sorry.

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 8:32:24 PM PST by

... and I'm out of credits/money...

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 8:41:00 PM PST by

Thanks to all who bid on this!

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 9:12:11 PM PST by

Nice auction. :)

Oct 28th, 2009 at 4:20:32 PM PDT by

Thanks!

Oct 28th, 2009 at 4:19:55 PM PDT by

wowzer

Oct 27th, 2009 at 8:59:36 PM PDT by

Thanks!

Oct 27th, 2009 at 9:00:06 PM PDT by

There is probably an F.A.Q. but since you're right here. If I bid, do I get my points right back when I lose the top bid?

Oct 27th, 2009 at 9:04:05 PM PDT by

Yes you do get your points back immediately once you are outbid. It's similar to eBay's proxy-bidding.

Oct 27th, 2009 at 9:06:28 PM PDT by

One more thing... if bidding reaches 7,000, I'll even throw in a new-in-packaging matching and branded softcase!

Oct 28th, 2009 at 8:37:41 PM PDT by

Oct 28th, 2009 at 11:26:30 AM PDT by

Only at 801 so far. Good luck!

Oct 28th, 2009 at 4:13:28 PM PDT by

Great item!... but SO out of my league T_T
